NIGP 33091: Wire, Woven

NIGP 33091 Wire, Woven is an Item code covering fencing materials—specifically chain-link fence fabric, posts, rails, gates, and related hardware—that state and local governments procure for installation and maintenance across school campuses, municipal facilities, and infrastructure projects. School districts dominate solicitation activity under this code, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida and Northside Independent School District and Temple Independent School District in Texas all posting fencing material and services RFPs, ITBs, and IFBs in early 2026. The work involves supply of galvanized and vinyl-coated chain-link fabrics, ornamental and non-scalable fencing, gates, hinges, latches, and related components, often bundled with installation labor on an as-needed or annual-maintenance basis. Contractors must typically demonstrate five years of verifiable fencing industry experience, maintain current business licensing and insurance, and comply with prevailing wage and bond requirements on larger projects. Small business enterprise, women-owned business enterprise, and historically underutilized business certifications are standard evaluation factors across these solicitations.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida, with recent opportunities from Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP 26028-MST for fencing services due February 26, 2026, with 238 line items and estimated annual quantities up to 18,000 linear feet; ITB 26124-MST for fencing materials inventory due May 4, 2026, with 160 line items), Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (IFB 2026-060 for fence material and services due April 22, 2026, replacing an incumbent contract), and Temple Independent School District in Texas (IFB-006-26 for district-wide fencing supplies, installation, and repair due March 16, 2026, with a 20 percent SWMBE participation goal). One outlier solicitation from Santa Clara County, California (ITB-RDA-FY26-0559 for a bridge replacement project due March 5, 2026) includes wire and fencing elements as part of larger civil infrastructure work. School districts account for the bulk of recent posting volume and typically structure awards as multi-vendor pools with automatic renewal options (typically four one-year renewal periods) and emergency response service requirements including four-hour Priority 1 call-out response times.
